You’ve probably never seen this sign on the side of the road before: “Not homeless! Need boobs!”

Well, one woman is giving it a try. Chrissy Lance is hoping generous drivers in Akron, Ohio will give her enough money to get breast implants. Her sign is honest; she’s not homeless. And she even has a job at a bar.

The single mom tells our affiliate WKYC, breast implants would really boost her self-esteem. She says she plans to keep going out in her bikini until she raises enough money. It might take a while though. When WKYC caught up with her last week, she only had $90. But, of course, that was before her efforts made national headlines.

Lance seems to have thought this through, too. She tells WKYC, she got the required license to panhandle from Akron, so her street-side begging is legal.

What do you think? Do you get a kick out of her honesty? Or does this seem like a bizarre stunt to you?
